10 Mile Drop

I'm way behind on adding anything to this blog...even skipped the March run log... I'm going to do my best to catch up ~ lots of pics from DC and Arizona and life...but for now, I'll do today's race report.
The past two years I've done the 20 mile drop...so today's 10 miler wasn't so intimidating.  Just know that we have a marathon in 7 days...so I went in thinking of this as a training run (sort of)

Dodd, Mike, Me & Leslie got in the car early morning & drove to Fairport.  We loaded the bus after we found Lily and Kevin & off we went to wait in the bathroom line.  This race is a drop in elevation from Chardon to Fairport...but it is not down hill.  I, of course, started off fast & was sub-8 for the first three miles.  Slowed down from there, but felt good the whole race.  Knowing I had a marathon in 7 days was part of it, but I am afraid to not have something left in the tank at the end.  (been there)  Kept Mike in sight for the entire race & he finished about a minute before me.  Happy with my time (not a PR) and my first place age group win.
